Couldn't be better said, get to the basic strategy that you know. I'm basically out of everything since yesterady. Took a $1000 hit on the AAPL puts (coud have been worse today), and that took away most of my gains on the 2 GOOG put spreads I had 615/605 and 610/600. I'm all cash now, and taking...

Pop into the thread with atticus vs. forex, somehow I get the feeling those posts had nothing to do with stock or stock options hahahaha...

I haven't had a chance to review the Qs so can't make a blind trade just yet, but I'll have a look and review the odds.

They all look heavy at the top here that's why I held GOOG puts even though it looked like it was trying to rally.....AAPL is testing its all time highs here reached last week, and so far volume is crappy. That's asking to be shorted. As for GOOG, it couldn't even hold those gains and its back...

LOL, Sorry I'm married, Christian so no extramarital activities. Falcon: I've stalled at $8300 on the account with the last of that earning trade. I wouldn't count the last 3 trade as earning trade, but netted +700 on AAPL put spread, and still holding 2 goog put spread showing plenty of...

I think its time to jump back into AAPL again. Locked in $700 profit on 3/7 with that spread in AAPL, but this time I've just added 3 long AAPL Mar 17, 2012 $550 puts at $9.90. I'll try to leg into a put spread and let run for the remaining days. $2970 for one trade is way too high, so I'll...

$14 is better than a -$500 loss. I'd take that on all my trades lol....

No need to call folks dumb here.....It may take a little longer for some to understand the context, but eventually, we all learn.....name calling goes a little to far...stick to other posts if this one's too slow for ya'll. On the bright side, PCLN up+8, gave me a chance to add a put spread...

Missed out on the PCLN put trade I wanted to grab yesterday....would have been nice to add that with the GOOG and AAPL put spreads. Oh well, Time to look at locking in some gains if possible.

Heck, I'm with atticus on shorting PCLN too....I think this is the level to get in now at $640, and maybe ride it down to close the gap. edit: I'll try to add a put spread here on PCLN too.

The market correction is closer if not here yet though. I think Jeff mentioned the Dow transports going bearish about 1-2 weeks ago. That would have been an early key signal, which is starting to hold form here. I have been watching the dow transport since he mentioned it too, and it looks weak...

Gain on PCLN, then loss, loss, and loss. I'm sitting at $8100 right now. Not much earnings left, and this is that risky time of the quarter, so instead, I'm testing out longer holds on positions like 1-2 weeks. Put on 3 spreads, bought 2 goog mar 610/600 put spread at $2.25, and 3 goog mar...

well, that was a whole day of reviewing SODA's price action and news. Can't find the swagger, but then again, I should have expected that too.....the price action went the same way as APKT just a few weeks ago where APKT came out with a poor report, traded low in premarket then just popped for a...

Yeah, the fly basically states that you think SODA hangs at $49-$51 area. I felt it would hang around there too this morning when I expected SODA to close out around $45-$46, but closing out at $47.50, this is now a different dog. A gap lower pushes it back to about $41-$43, but the gap up has...

That's true, and expect at least some type of volatility crush back to about 70 from above 100. So price in that too before making a trade. But do try that paper trade and let me know how it turns out.....I'd always love to see other trades be it paper trade on the trade I'm in to get a...

That caught my eyes and is interesting....but my option account can't do that type of naked call trading just yet....My equity account does not have option trading so can't go there too.....let me know how it goes.

If I did a vertical, it'd have to be worth the price....I wouldn't even touch the 45, I'd have to look at 47.5/55 for about 2.50-2.60 and see what the odds are of SODA holding above $50. I would close the trade out together, and would probably have to leg out to make it worth the troubles. These...

That' might work, I'm looking at no more than a pop to $50, and we should get a stop on SODA somewhere before the next leg up anyways....of course all this depends on investor's view of the EURO zone as this one has most of its play in Europe.

yep, stay away from lightly traded options....doesn't work as expected....you'll be buying them at a premium and selling them at a discount.

Yeah, SODA finally broke through its 200-day moving average just 2 days ago. The run ups not too bad, as the run here in 2012 was made in steps where it jumped from 33 to 40, corrected to 35 jumped to 43, corrected to 39, jumps now to 46, could be either direction at this point here, and the...
